Best Nintendo white t-molding ?
Bender:
Original Nintendo cabs come both 9/16 and 5/8 depending on the type of wood, Ply or particle
the t-molding does get flatter when installed, but not quite as flat as the original and i find it to be more matt than the original, I'm thinking of trying to polish it some how
JeepMonkey:
Here are a couple control panels, one has original t-molding and the other "flat" t-molding from t-molding.com. If these pics aren't good enough I can take some others.
Level42:
Thanks, great pics, they really show the difference very well !
I'm quite disappointed by the repro stuff. It looks like it's much thicker apart from the angle.
However, the picture that shows it from the top surely makes the repro stuff look better. I think that when you look at the cab the repro still would look better than the old worn stuff ?
I'll check how bad the original T-molding on my cab is....
Level42:
Checked it and cleaned it with my trusty "Dasty" and it turned out VERY nice. Sure, there's some (burn) marks I can't get off and there are a few dents, but overall it looks pretty nice. I'll try to refit them when I'm ready with the black painting of the cab and see how I like it. I may very well keep the originals :)
Thanks for the help and info !
SavannahLion:
Nintendo wasn't the only one with flat t-molding. My SEGA cab has black flat t-molding. I ordered sample sizes and IIRC, the equivalent Nintendo size was what fit, but the rounded top was nowhere close. I didn't order the white Nintendo molding to see if it was a fit (aside from color). I thought about ordering samples from other suppliers, but everyone seems to order from the same manufacturer. :badmood:
I saw one manufacturer offer custom extrusions for t-molding. What's the possibility of a group buy?
Of course, who's going to want the black? :P
